Atari Plans PSP Launch Titles
By David Smith

Atari has "a couple of titles" in the works for the launch of Sony's PSP handheld late this year, president Bruno Bonnell confirmed today during the publisher's earnings conference call. While Atari is still waiting on announcing specific titles, it will "definitely support" the PSP from its launch, Bonnell said.
Bonnell also briefly addressed the subject of other future products from the major videogame hardware manufacturers, but in essence, the news is that there is no news. While Atari is of course laying the groundwork for games on next generation consoles, Bonnell said, it has received no specifics it can disclose about those consoles or when they will be released.
Whatever Atari happens to have planned, we'll look forward to seeing its games later this year, most likely at E3.

Maybe D3, or a Driver Compilation game, will be a launch title for PSP. It'd be nice to have that D1+2 Special Edition game with a better framerate, more gameplay (like D3's gameplay), and if they feel like taking the time, better graphics too (although they don't need to be much better for that small screen.) Maybe it could have D3's engine but the levels from the old Drivers.
Also on the same site, theres an article on the possibility of the new Nintendo handheld, the DS, having a 3D screen:

Lets just hope both these handhelds have good games, I want both (but only if the DS does have a 3D screen, which makes sense after reading the article, more sense than just 2 2D screens, which seems stupid to me)
